RATM originally split in 2000, before reforming in 2007 for reunion shows running until 2011. Their last album was 2000’s ‘Renegades’.

Speaking on the Let There Be Talk podcast, Wilk (also drummer for Audioslave and Prophets of Rage) said that “nothing would make me happier than to be able to fuck shit up right now with Rage Against The Machine”.

Wilk continued: “It’s just really a matter of getting us all on the same page.”

“If that will happen again or not, I have no idea, but I know at least the four of us are amicable and can talk to each other, and actually even go hang out on occasion, so I think more we just want to be friends first more than anything.”

“How many bands are around more than 5 years?”, Wilk added. “We’ve been around since 1991.”
